Reviews
"Outstanding. . . . A masterful memoir and powerful demonstration of what's possible when you don't give up your dream." -- The Christian Science Monitor "An inspiration. . . . With many thoughtful reflections on relationships and the human condition." -- The Wall Street Journal "Reads like a gripping thriller." -- People "A story about refusing to accept, or be defined by, defeat. . . . The latest, greatest chapter in Nyad's story of perseverance and personal triumph." -- The New York Times Book Review "Fascinating. . . . Nyad's writing is clear and direct, with her grit and determination finally finding a way." -- The Seattle Times "Astonishing. . . . Her message to readers is that anyone who has a dream and perseveres can also be successful." -- Houston Chronicle "Exciting. . . . A life-affirming story." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Nyad fiercely owns this story. . . . [She] also envelops those friends, family, and colleagues who helped her along the way, and any readers who would take heart from it." -- Booklist (starred review) "Inspiring reading for anyone who has ever dared to dream the impossible. . . . What makes Nyad's story so remarkable, beyond the harrowing trials she faced at sea--unpredictable currents and weather, deadly sea animals--is the strength of a resolve that would not admit defeat and knew no boundaries." -- Kirkus Reviews "A fascinating glimpse into her life as a talented and fiercely determined athlete. . . . [A] moving account." -- Library Journal
Synopsis
NOW THE NETFLIX FILM NYAD , STARRING ANNETTE BENING AND JODIE FOSTER Hillary Clinton said that Find a Way would stay with her through the general election: "When you're facing big challenges in your life, you can think about Diana Nyad getting attacked by the lethal sting of box jellyfishes. And nearly anything else seems doable in comparison." When Diana Nyad arrived on the shore of Key West after fifty-three hours of grueling swimming across an epic ocean, she not only set a world record--becoming the first person to swim the shark-infested waters between Cuba and Florida with no cage for protection--she also succeeded in fulfilling a dream she first chased at age twenty-eight and at long last achieved when she was sixty-four. Now, in a riveting memoir, Diana shares a spirited account of what it takes to face one's fears, engage one's passions, and never ever give up. For no matter what life may throw at you, or how many times you may have experienced defeat, it is always possible--as long as you commit to living life to the nth degree, no regrets--to "find a way.", Hillary Clinton said that Find a Way would stay with her through the general election: "When you're facing big challenges in your life, you can think about Diana Nyad getting attacked by the lethal sting of box jellyfishes.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (21,473)
- j***2 (60)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchase☆☆☆ Seller. Is not the picture of actual recieved item. Listing photo was pulled from internet and used as placeholder, according to sellers listing. Thats on me for buying the cheapest one without looking at listing fully. Would have been better to not use another persons photo on seller's listing as the specific guide book advertised has reflective bits, the one i recieved did not.. At least it arrived and is decent enough to use and look at. Packed ok. Shipped promptly. Thank you.
- k***i (36)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseFantastic price, faster shipping than expected, item as described. However, packaging was a thin plastic envelope instead of bubble/ cardboard. Book arrived new yet slightly damaged. Not worth asking for a return due to the very low price, yet would suggest to seller/ future buyers to have better packaging for shipping. Thanks.
- e***u (4501)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseWell the stock photo was just that, a stock photo and the item did not include the other material shown, which I had asked about. A chance you take. Otherwise, in good shape, shipped promptly, plastic bag envelope (nothing wrong with that for the price, but subject to beatings by the PO dolts. Yes, i will still buy from them if the price is reasonable.
